Toasted Everything Bagel Seasoning Food

GRILLED CHEESE WITH EVERYTHING BAGEL SEASONING

Steps:

• Mix together the cream cheese and scallions until well combined.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bread slices and toast until lightly browned on one side; remove to a cutting board, toasted-side up (the toasted sides will become the insides of your sandwich). Spread all four slices with scallion cream cheese, then sprinkle with Everything Bagel Seasoning. Top two of the slices with mozzarella, sliced tomato and red onion. Press the capers into the cream cheese on the other two slices. Form sandwiches.
• Add a bit more butter to the skillet if it seems dry. Place the sandwiches in the skillet, cover with a lid and cook until toasted on the bottom, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip the sandwiches and cook, covered, until toasted on the reverse side and the mozzarella is melted, about another 2 minutes. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt, cut in half and serve.
• Mix together the sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried minced garlic, dried minced onion and salt.

TOASTED EVERYTHING BAGEL SEASONING

Steps:

• In a small skillet, combine the sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried onion, dried garlic, salt, and red pepper flakes (if using).
• Warm over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the spices are fragrant and the sesame seeds are turning barely golden on the edges, about 5 minutes. Keep an eye on the pan, as the seeds can burn if they are not stirred frequently, especially during the last couple of minutes.
• Transfer the mix to a small bowl to cool. Store cooled leftover spice blend in a jar at room temperature for up to 1 month.
